use-ecology

Facade crate for primitive RustUse ecology vocabulary.

use-ecology re-exports focused crates for ecosystems, habitats, populations, communities, niches, biomes, food webs, species interactions, trophic levels, biodiversity, and conservation status. It is not an ecology simulator, population model, climate model, biodiversity database, conservation-planning system, GIS engine, food-web simulator, species-distribution model, or environmental science framework.

use use_ecology::prelude::{
    BiodiversityMeasure, BiomeKind, CommunityRole, ConservationStatus, EcosystemKind,
    FeedingRelation, FoodWebLink, HabitatKind, NicheKind, PopulationSize,
    SpeciesInteraction, SpeciesInteractionKind, SpeciesRichness, TrophicLevel,
};

let ecosystem = EcosystemKind::Marine;
let habitat = HabitatKind::Reef;

let role = CommunityRole::Keystone;

let richness = SpeciesRichness::new(128).unwrap();

This crate describes ecology concepts. It does not simulate ecosystems, analyze observations, infer conservation outcomes, or fetch environmental data.
